The module won't build, or can't be installed? It builds fine here, once the Makefile is edited to define a sane kernel source directory. I don't have a rocket133 to test the module with however. $ cat /etc/redhat-release Red Hat Linux release 9 (Shrike) I downloaded the file hpt302-opensource-v10.tgz $ tar -xvzf hpt302-opensource-v10.tgz Edited the Makefile, changing: KERNELDIR = /usr/src/linux to: KERNELDIR = /lib/modules/`uname -r`/build It builds like so: $ make gcc -DHIGHPOINT -DDRIVER_VERSION=\"1.0\" -DMODVERSIONS -DMODULE -DLINUX - -D__KERNEL__=1 -DCONFIG_PCI -D__BOOT_KERNEL_SMP=0 -D__BOOT_KERNEL_UP=1 - -O2 -I/lib/modules/`uname -r`/build/include -I/lib/modules/`uname - -r`/build/include/asm-i386 -I/lib/modules/`uname -r`/build/drivers/scsi - -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -fomit-frame-pointer -c hpt.c hpt.c: In function `hpt_set_device_offline': hpt.c:470: warning: deprecated use of label at end of compound statement hpt.c: In function `TaskQueue': hpt.c:569: warning: deprecated use of label at end of compound statement ld -m elf_i386 -r hpt302lib.o hpt.o -o hpt302.o $ /sbin/modinfo hpt302.o filename: hpt302.o description: "Driver for HPT302" author: "HighPoint Technologies, Inc." license: <none> Note that no license is defined in the source code, so the resulting module will taint the kernel. - -- - -Michael pgp key: http://www.tuxfan.homeip.net:8080/gpgkey.txt Red Hat Linux 7.{2,3}|8.0 in 8M of RAM: http://www.rule-project.org/ - -- -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.7 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE+lMOGn/07WoAb/SsRAkHiAJ9fXf1AzBTttedxDbvDduEGoz3YewCdE6fB gsoLErUKdxmi5SSbFTsszpY= =MsC/ -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
